wood and some rope and old bamboo for the sides.

I volunteered to take a day off from work and watch a sick grandson. Partially because he's a cool little 2 year old dude. And partially because I knew he would take a nap and I would get a chance to work on my Alien Kane

I knew it would be hard to glaze behind the Kane after he was attached. So I used some underglaze like engobe and painted it first while the clay was still wet. We'll see how that works out. The indentation is for the glow stick

Kane cut out and attached

Wanted a spaceship and a planet on the back but couldn't decide which planet. Thought about using Uranus but then there would be the inevitable Star Trek jokes (How is the spaceship Enterprise similar to toilet paper? They both circle Uranus looking for Klingons ) So I went with Saturn instead.

Great start TU, Zero your painting is fantastic. Sandra your work is amazing! Space Moai is turning out cool TikiAno and I'm lovin' the art and colors on the Marquesan Chronicals TikiDaye. Anthonymaye that is outrageous! I really like to see the layering and how you fine tuned your piece Woodtiki, and MadDog that is too cool! I fell behind on my own work but will get going again after Caliente. A very good swap going on here!

Everything is looking great! Sorry I haven't been on the last couple days. My daughter just graduated high school a year early and is going to college next year for free, so we have been doing some celebrating!!

I am starting a new piece. The first one seems to have been abducted.

I got a pm from Foamy asking if it was too late to join. I said "Of course not!" so I think we are up to 16 now.

I will post a pic of my new painting as soon as it is something besides black. For now, if you want to see what it looks like, close your eyes real tight. There you go.

Here is the new one. Still can't find the first one. I thought it might be some kind of conspiracy that my painting disappeared, so this one is different. Not sure how it will turn out, because I didn't sketch, just started painting. It is really blurry, but that just adds to the space effect I think.

Mike, looks great. Zero, I can only imagine how cool the stuff you're packing into that canvas will be!

I got back into the studio today and started trimming and adding detail. Originally I had planned to have antennae sticking straight up out of the sides of the mug, but decided to keep them slicked back along the back of the Space Moai's head. This is how it ended up:
